Jelly fish looking things?

silverwolf72 · 06/19/2007, 01:34 AM

So far I've counted 4 of these small bell shaped clear I guessing jelly fish on the front glass, they look to have 10 tenticals. Can anyone tell me what these are? I only have 2 pieces of live rock that I'm using to seed some base rock with.

maybe hydroids?

I looked on yahoo under hydroids and didn't see anything like them. I'll try and get a pic tonight. More info- when brushed off the front they do swim with a pulsing action around the the tank till they find a place to settle. Are hydroids a bad thing?

They can only be a bad thing if you start seeing a load of them, in some cases people have a lot of them, i had some a few months into the hobby, than they slowly died down, now i don't see any, guess they come and go.

sounds like they're hydroids to me too. if you google or yahoo them a bunch of other random stuff comes up. but don't worry, they're not bad

Just amazed at the amount of stuff coming from 2 softball pieces of live rock with only coralline algae visible!! and no other visible hitch hickers and it's been in my tank only 3 weeks.
